A certain freezing process requires that room temperature be lowered from 40°C at the rate of 5°C every hour. What will be the room temperature 10 hours after the process begins?
From the given data we get to know that:
Initialtemperature=40°C
Changeintemperatureperhour=−5°C
Changeintemperatureafter10hours=(−5)×10=−50°C
Finaltemperature=40ºC+(−50ºC)=−10°CHence, thefinalroomtemperatureafter10hoursoffreezingprocess=-10oC.
